For a New Year 2022

As Christmas wish is blessed by an invocation
Some poems shall start with a little introduction
Like when I anticipate a New Year with great delight
It starts with my list of five resolutions at your sight:

                       Wash dishes after each meal
                       Whole day teaching kids isn’t a big deal

                       Sweep the floor before working in the morning
                       So I can relax as I retreat in the evening

                       Clean my bathroom while taking a bath
                       It saves water, two birdie jobs in a hat
                   
                       Eat more fruits and vegetables
                       To reduce fats and cholesterol

                       Paint or play musical instruments
                       At least after work on weekends


Lord, bless these resolutions that I may follow
I pray not to trade them with the north pole snow
Make me resolute in all fervors of my oath
For a New Year 2022 healthier life and growth.

These are my New Year's Resolutions 2022. My friend asked me to make a list when she knew I was too busy to give time for household chores and personal activities. Then, PS gave me an idea on how to write it. I'll give her a copy. I'm a person working usually beyond 12 hrs a day, teaching students and sharing what I have to my friends, family and relatives like extra teaching or writing speeches and poems (Eng & Fili) for their sons/daughters' assignements etc .

Excellent, Len. Hope you have entered this in L. Milton Hankins contest, Five Resolutions. I've worked on your middle one when I take baths; clean the shower first, then wash myself. don't find a resolution here not worth the work.
